Thank you so much for making this channel. It's so hard to tell from websites and marketing pictures what these things actually look like in a room with someone on them.

I make treadmill virtual videos for runs - but this video has been so useful in deciding which trendmill i want at home!! thank you for this!! Sending a like and a love from Ireland 🇮🇪
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxguEIMc_Qwab-3QMTpF6jaRL80hiOOsIN It originally earned a four-star review due to a minor defect (see below). However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(!!) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!
Thank you for the very nicely done video. Are you able to bypass the IFit altogether, and access some preset programs? Or, are all of the programs through IFit? In other words, if for some reason you do not renew the I Fit subscription, how does the unit function?
Great question. The onboard or preset workouts are give to you through the iFit platform so you still have to use iFit, but it's just a free version that has about 60-ish workouts that you can use. Maybe 10 of these are lead by an iFit trainer and then there will be Google maps workouts and some other graph workouts. One nice thing is that they usually rotate between the iFit trainer lead workouts so you'll still get updated content every few days if you aren't paying for a subscription. One negative to this is that you still have to use an internet connection because you're streaming the workouts through the iFit platform. Please let me know if you have any follow up questions.
Very informative and well put together. Thanks so much for the knowledge shared! My question is for any of these smart treadmills that use subscription services, do they need to be connected to wifi to work at all? The internet service in my area is not always consistent so I don’t want to be left without the ability to use the treadmill.
That's a great question. We should emphasize this in our reviews! YES!! You need a solid WiFi connection because all the content is streamed - it's not preloaded on the machine. The best way to test your WiFi signal is to use an iPad or tablet. Take it to the area you plan to use your treadmill and try to stream something from NetFlix, etc. If it works, you should be fine. If not, you may need an extender or other solution to strengthen the signal.
When you do these reviews, you should speed up your walking pace to the point it requires full arm swing motion. This will show us if your hands hit the underside of the console...which I've found to be a common occurrence. Additionally, there is absolutely no excuse for the machine not to come with at least a few pre-loaded video terrain hikes that don't require internet. Memory is cheap as hell. Thanks for the thorough review.
Thank you for creating this channel and the videos! In my search for a good treadmill as a novice, I have found your channel to be super helpful! To this end, with help of several of your videos I have now been able to narrow down my search for a budget friendly and good treadmill for me (5 ft in, 168 lbs) to Proform Carbon series. However, I am still deciding about T10 vs T7. The main differences seem to be only the screen size (10 vs 7) and motor (2.75 vs 2.6) at a cost difference of current prices of $999 vs $649. Would you recommend T7 over T10? Also, I am concerned with your comment that you wouldn't recommend running over 6 miles, given that the specs include running upto 10 miles per hour.
In general, we recommend the T10 over the T7 simply because the screen on the T7 is quite small and can be hard to see. You won't notice a difference in the motor size. Regarding your question about the running capacity, the T10 is designed for running moderate distances - around 6 miles or so per day would be fine. Beyond that it might be taxing on the motor. You can, however, run any speed up to 10mph. Long hours of training may be hard on the motor, but it will support any speed.
It might be worth getting the ProForm Pro 2000 just for more stability but that is up to you. The Carbon T10 is a good treadmill too though if it meets your price point.
The cushioning on this model is fine, you would be better off to go with the ProForm Pro 2000 or even a NordicTrack incline trainer if you really need a lot of cushioning for knee pain. Let me know if you have any other questions about that, thanks!
Hello! First off, thank you so much for your reviews! It has been an amazing help! So I was thinking of purchasing the T10 until I heard your review of the motor. The website for Proform has the motor listed as 3.0.....I'm wondering if this a typo or an upgrade? At that size of a motor could milage be increased? Could somebody do ten miles on it? Thanks!
Yes - ProForm increased the motor power on the 2022 model T10. It will support running just fine. The cushioning isn't as soft as on more expensive treadmills, but it is a great compact option. You could run 10 miles on this model.
Is it posible to "fullscreen" the stats? I don't need iFit, just the stats and my music (i don't buy another one without iFit cause in my country there aren't a lot of options)
Unfortunately the three year plan cost more than the machine which I just saw on sale somewhere for way less that what the plan cost. And Proform says it’s a three year family plan so it wouldn’t make any sense for me as a single person to even try to get this for “ free with 3 year plan at their” at $1,400 or 1,499 price. There is always a catch or gimmick to these things.
It makes a very annoying noise when raising and declining. However, one major thing you never talk about in your vidoes is the warranty and customer support. ProForm customer support is appalling by all accounts and even though there is onsite repair, they actually send you the item and expect the user to repair it. It is disgraceful and this should be in included in your reviews. Further, there seems to be reliability issues with their products and the warranty is non-transferable.
@@krisgee9553 If you are meaning within the treamill space as opposed to generically, where there are many companies with great customer service. In the treadmill space - JTX Fitness, for example has an industry leading warranty and very good customer service. I know because my girlfriend bought a Sprint 7 in August last year and we weren't happy with a couple of things so they sent an engineer out to try and fix it and when they couldn't they replaced the console and compensated us.
You don't need special wiring, but we don't recommend using an extension cord. Plug the treadmill into a standard wall outlet with no other devices plugged into the same outlet.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you! :) Do you know how long the cord is perhaps? I will be setting it up in my garage and am afraid it won't reach an outlet. :(

Lol sorry I should have finished this video first before commenting. I am just starting a couch to 5k program and I want to get to a 10 k without stopping. Would you still recommend this particular model?
@@jennieadams6000 You should be just fine to use this model if you're the only person using it. If you have multiple users, we would recommend getting something with a little bit bigger motor. But if it's only you then this should be great.
Hi There! Can you please make a review video for PROFORM CITY L6.. What are your thoughts about it! This treadmill i personally believed is one of good folding treadmill BUT we want to hear and see about it from your side.. Many thanks
Hi! We hope to test and review the ProForm City L6 soon! We don't have it in our studio just yet. In the meantime you can check out our reviews of the Echelon Stride and the Botorro R5 treadmills. They are very similar. Our thoughts on the City L6 - it's going to be a solid treadmill for anyone who wants a compact folding treadmill that they are going to use primarily for walking and some light jogging. The motor is really small and in turn, the highest speed is only 8 mph, but for someone who only wants to walk and do some light jogging, this should work great. At the affordable price tag this comes at, the City L6 is a solid machine that gives you a nice bang for your buck compared to other ProForm treadmills. Let us know if you have any follow up questions.
Do you have to buy a subscription to iFit and have a Wi-Fi connection to run this machine? Can I just turn it on, set a speed and run for an hour or do you have to choose a workout?
Hi there! Do you think the Proform T10 Carbon and Proform Pro2000 treadmill is good to purchase, even I don't like to subscribe their FIT program? Many thanks
No, but if you cancel iFit before the 3-year period, Nordictrack will probably charge you for the treadmill. We recommend confirming the buyout program with Nordictrack.
I would check out the ProForm Pro 2000 or ProForm Pro 9000. These treadmills have larger motors to handle that kind of use, especially long term. The motor on the Carbon T10 is only really best for walking, jogging, and light running.
Yes, you'll be fine. Our reviewer Matthew who is 6'5" found it slightly small for running but is able to walk just fine. At your height, you should be able to walk and run just fine.
The frame and motor will support your weight and that distance. However, you may find the cushioning to be slightly less than what you'll find on other treadmills. If your budget permits, we'd recommend upgrading to at least the Pro 2000 and if possible the Nordictrack 1750 or Sole F80. All of those machines have a higher weight limit and more cushioning to support your joints while running.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Do you know if you can cast iFit screen from any other treadmills ? This information is not clear from the manufactures and its quite frustrating that nobody talk about it.
@@4xDiscovery as far as we know from the treadmills we've tested, you cannot cast from any Nordictrack treadmill. That feature isn't programmed into the app..
Do not buy the T10 or in this case any Proform treadmill, you will regret. it's a waste of money. In fact, Proform, overall, is a waste. The motor broke in less than 14 months, and it will cost me $500.
Hi. I'm thinking in getting this one or the 9000. I'm 5.6" and 162 lb. I usually run between 3 and 5 miles. Undecided between these 2. T10 will be ok or not, the 9000 will be a lot. Anyone has an opinion?
The T10 is a hearty little treadmill and it's great for walking, but you may find the cushioning a bit limited for running. If you sign up for the ProForm Plus program, you can get the T10 free with a 3-year subscription to iFit. The Pro 9000 does have a bit more motor power and more cushioning, but for your intended amount of running, you should be okay.
The ProForm Plus program includes a few machines that ProForm will ship to you for free if you sign up for a 3-year contract with iFit. They include the Carbon T10 treadmill, Carbon E7 elliptical, Studio Bike Pro, and Pro R10 rower. Follow this link for more info: www.proform.com/free-equipment
